We took a little break this week to enjoy good food, but managed a couple of new pages. Here's what is new this week at the Choctaw-Web : GENEALOGY LESSONS This week's genealogy lesson (no. 7) concerns the 1910 census. They were taken at a time when the territory was being influxed by immigraants from all over the world. Find out which ones and where they settled. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson/genealogy_7.htm <A HREF="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson/genealogy_7.htm">Click here: GENEALOGY 7 </A> Words of Wisdom: Live your life so that the fear of death can never enter your heart. I found an inspiring piece by Shawnee chief Tecumseh and want to share it with you. I believe you will want to bookmark this one and share it with others, as I have. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson/words.htm <A HREF="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson/words.htm">Click here: WORDS </A> New Norma Howard Artwork Four new pieces of art have been added to the site by Mississippi Choctaw artist Norma Howard.

Sam, William A. Cobb came from Mississippi and grandson Lewis W. was born in Indian Territory. He married Harriet Impson and they adopted many children, including Lomans. William and Lewis were both preachers and were featured in early day Chronicles of Oklahoma. If you can add to this information, please email me as I would love to add their genealogies to my site.
